<p>&quot;keyword searches&quot; you say? I could probably get the FBI to look at this site using a few choice words. Bomb, terrorist, down with America...the list goes on.

<p>While it's interesting to see the CIA and the USAISC looking into that game, there are a few points to consider before breaking out the aluminum foil hats.</p><p>1:&nbsp;Both agencies monitor massive amounts of data and routinely monitor the web &quot;chatter&quot;.</p><p>2:&nbsp;Knowing a lot of intelligence type people, they have a high concentration of geeks &amp;&nbsp;tech nerds in their ranks.&nbsp; While most of the army has very restricted &quot;approved only sites&quot;&nbsp;web surfing priveledges, intel type agencies have a much larger range of sites they can visit on their network for research.&nbsp; This could be one of those geeks using a government computer to look at that game info.</p><p>3: Without knowing the total traffic of the site, 1 hit doesn't make me too nervous.&nbsp; My old blog used to get hits from all sorts of government agencies.&nbsp; It could be the fact that I&nbsp;have friends in the Gov, or it could be routine algorithmic based keword searches.</p><p>4:&nbsp;Lastly, this analytics screenshot doesn't show if it's a bot or a user.&nbsp; </p><p>Yep, I'm a skeptic about this, there seems to be no pattern or trend to suggest any weirdness.</p>Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:00:11 +0000AgonThaliacomment 213664 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: XBL Community Game Mixes Platform Action, Puzzles andhttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/04/30/xbl-community-game-mixes-platform-action-puzzles-and-politics#comment-213662
<p>&quot;To make things just a bit more interesting, the Clover web site has apparently been viewed by both the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.binarytweed.com/2009/03/err.html">Central Intelligence Agency</a> and the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.binarytweed.com/2009/03/plot-thickens.html">United States Army Information Systems Command</a>.&quot;</p><p>Damn. You know you have a hot item game when the goverment is looking at the development of this game.</p><p><a href="http://www.magicinkgaming.com/" title="http://www.magicinkgaming.com/">http://www.magicinkgaming.com/</a></p>Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:52:55 +0000killatiacomment 213662 at http://www.gamepolitics.com
